I guess John-Boy wasn’t available so they had to settle for the other Walton brother.

good one laur… really good one. Good luck with that by the way. As for Walton, I happen to think he did quite well elevating the players we had to the 13th ranked defense in the league. Yeah, I know there were still some issues there, but I think you actually have a good one there. Don’t be surprised if he takes your defense up a notch.

After using almost their entire drafts on Offensive players and D Line, Walton did more with less. the few good players he had were hurt most of the time. He actually got the most of the rag-tag players he had. A remarkable accomplishment considering the talent level.
The Lions posters here do not realize yet how bad things will get without Walton.

Seriously?! Are we sure he’s not assistant DC? Maybe assistant DB’s coach? Not quite sure how he qualifies for the position, but best of luck!

For all the people complaining about this hire I think its safe to assume the Rams defensive backfield is a lot better than what Walton had to work with last year.

He did more with the Lions DBs with less talent than anyone could ever hope for. On the other hand watch his DBs to see how often they ever turn their head to look for the ball. This is why we got so many flags thrown and so few turnovers
